To have live feed from everywhere at once they would need a large number of geostationary satellites around all of the earth, and they are only geostationary if they're orbiting over the equator.

Sorry, it's not possible.

Plus, I'm guessing satellites aren't easy to hide.

you dont needa hide satellites. it only takes a few up there to see anything in the world within minutes. it doesnt take long to orbit the earth. they prolly dont have live feed to everywhere at once, but to anywhere within minutes.

Satellites reflect the sunlight and can be seen by astronomers I guess.

To have live feed from a point the satellites can't be moving, they need to be geostationary. So what you mean is they can get photos (like google earth) from anywhere they want.
The majority of satellites are placed in low earth orbit (LEO) and the orbital period usually takes around 90 minutes.
